job transfer
New workplace assignment
A job transfer is a move from one position, department, or location to another within the same organization.
Transfers may be lateral (same level) or involve promotion.
The term also covers relocating for employment: Her job transfer took the family from Chicago to Seattle.
A transfer differs from a new hire—you keep your employer but change your role or workplace.
